| Description: | Watsonville Taiko, founded by Jim Hooker in September 1991, is a Taiko drumming community of performers and supporters. Ikuyo Conant, artistic director since 1992, set the group's goal to strive through exploration of Taiko to develop an art that combines drumming with folklore, mythology and symbolism. Dojo Address: Kizuka Hall 150 Blackburn Street Watsonville, CA |
| Mission: | The mission of the Watsonville Taiko Group is to foster the evolving cultural expression and traditions of taiko drumming through performances and public education. Our goal is to create a self-sufficient performance art community that uses taiko drumming as a springboard for a wider cultural and aesthetic understanding of Japanese music, myth, folk lore, dance and theater. |
